[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Agreed... but this is why I think it can come down to the charger or cable. I saw this exact issue so much with my Droid using a cheap dock, switched cables and chargers and viola, no issues. The research I did then clearly pointed at voltage issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
I hope I don't get spammed to hell because of this, but is the iPad charger a good alternative? It comes with that nice long three-prong cable and is high quality.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mistar Muffin:
I would only spend $30 on another charger if ASUS bought it for me. We shouldn't have to do that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I thought Apple had a proprietary pin layout for their devices. The ASUS jack is proprietary too, so pretty sure you have to use ASUS cable. Only the AC to USB brick could be replaced.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
That was the idea. Yes

FW: .33

Tested: on dock

Charger: old one from TF101

"Correctly" plugged in means the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 have calibration issues

"Reversely" plugged in means the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 have calibration issues but to a lesser degree.

Undocked and unplugged there are no calibration issues.

Docked and unplugged there are no calibration issues.

I will test with the charger that came from the TF201 when I get home from work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Thanks for the info, look forward to your findings

Edit 1: I just tested inverting the charger and mine exhibits problems both ways...

Edit 2: Called ASUS and was instructed to perform a "Wipe Data" by holding down volume down and power during boot to access and menu "Data Wipe". This didn't fix it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Has anyone tried using a different brand USB charger yet?

My laptop powerbrick has a USB port, I wonder if I could stick it in there. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
We need folks to try different chargers, especially different stock ASUS chargers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Well, Just returned from Best Buy. I have returned my Prime and will place an order with Amazon/Best Buy/etc in several weeks. Hopefully, things will get better with production.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
So not one person with this problem has tried a different charger yet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Just did a factory reset and can confirm that the calibration issue is STILL present on the original firmware.

I pray its just due to crappy chargers and not a crappy unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cphil19:
Another update

Just discovered the problem only happens when the device is ACTUALLY being charged. Right now, my charger is plugged in, however the battery is already 100% and I'm not getting any touch screen problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eric Liu:
Dear Transformer Prime users,

This issue has been found and fixed in upcoming ICS release. Thanks for your valuable feedback, please also check this issue again with upcoming ICS release, thanks!

Regards,

Eric

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
in general almost all capacitive display devices exhibit this problem while charging,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vbman213:
Looking at this guys Public Profile on XDA and his previous posts, it sounds like he is an ASUS representative!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
Thanks (given) for the valuable feedback. Glad you're monitoring these threads!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kevinm2k:
If he is then fantastic! But couldn't see anything on the public profile, if only there was a fix for my screen bleed i would have a perfect device!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
This is probably a firmware update bundled in with the ICS. Unlikely they will provide source for this unless this is something Google fixed and is part of the ICS main branch.

As an update, although it may not matter since it looks like it will be fixed, reversing my plug does not fix my problem. However, I did find that if I put the device to sleep after plugging in then wake it back up the problem goes away. The "drift" also appears to be exclusive to the top 1/4th of the screen. The rest of the screen seems to be accurate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Did they post any other fixed implemented in ICS?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kevinm2k:
With the 'reverse polarity' someone said on here, I thought hey i'll give it a go with my UK prime. When I looked, the ASUS logo on my charger was already upside down, and it wouldn't go any other way, so I wonder whether asus noticed the problem and made the uk plug so it could only go upside down... saying that, if they do notice it why didn't they turn then logo around???

Anyways, doing that didn't fix the touch screen, as long as ICS does i'll be happy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
The plug that needs the polarity reversed is the small brick that plugs in the AC electric outlet. Initially, I also mistakenly thought that folks were referring to the power plug that goes into the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mistar Muffin:
Wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n11:
Would you care to expand on "Wrong". That's what worked for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rjscott2005:
FWIW, I tried using the power brick from my sons Nook Color and the Prime didn't recognize that it was plugged in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mistar Muffin:
Look, the graphic I posted should illustrate the required steps clearly enough. If you don't have the required tools, you can find one at the local pound and/or hoarder's residence.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tony1ant:
Ever since the latest firmware update I've been having touchscreen issues as well. I've only had mine for4 days now.Asus sort it out please.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
I've spoke with asus representative and was told the issue has been identified and fixed in the next update, aka ICS. sorry I don't have source to back me up with this, you just have to take my word for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tony1ant:
Screen calibration and erratic.

I'm having the same problems since the latest firmware update :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
So its not just me! It happens when mine is plugged in an typing. I was typing an article and the c key just would not press! All other keys work, execpt the one around it. I unplugged it and sure enough, the keyboard and touchscreen fully work.

The 12th can't come fast enough! :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] murgo:
i thought i was crazy! just received my 32gb grey transformer and noticed the touchscreen was behaving weird. i hope they're gonna fix that soon!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dbtorreliob:
Who's on 220v and who's on 110v? Who's using a grounded surge protector and who isnt? Who's on a circuit with a gfi and who isn't too many variables!!!! I feel like the more i read the more worried i get about the arrival of my prime and everything that could be wrong with it. I might as well be pregnant!!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheBogBrushZone:
I'm running on the ICS build (9.4.2.7) and I'm having similar issues when plugged in (UK model so I can't reverse the polarity). It's not a screen calibration issue for me as much as a second 'ghost' touch occurring in certain areas of the screen causing random pinch-to-zoom effects and causing problems when trying to drag icons around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] IneffablePigeon:
For what it's worth, I can't reproduce this problem with my UK model on the stock UK charger.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Gir_:
After my upgrade to ICS the problem has gone away. I checked with power on/off and also tried changing the plug's orientation.

I'm good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jzero88:
So I have the Vibrant, and starting Friday Tmobile is having a sale on select phones. SGSII is one of them, and I am thinking about getting it.

I went to the Tmo store today and took a look at their display phone. It seemed a little choppy for a 1.5 dual core, at least the launcher did. I took a look at the battery status, and it showed 26 hours with 71% left! That made me happy but saw the screen was only used for fifteen minutes, still not too bad.

I have also heard that it doesn't get good battery life and will get about 10 hours on moderate use.

I was wondering if someone could enlighten me on the phone, and share some of the experiences you have had since getting it, thanks!

EDIT: Yes, even on videos there is some definite lag, like WTF Samsung? 1.5 Ghz and you still have lag?.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Schraader:
Yes! Yes! I didn't notice too much lag when I first picked it up, but I rooted and flashed a rom the first night so its hard to say :) With all the new roms coming out, the phone just keeps getting better and better.

Right now mine last atleast 2 days with average use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AUTX_buckeye:
I rooted froze the bloat was getting 34 hours with medium amount to usage..that was on Stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jzero88:
I see, I guess Ill have to go back and play with it some more before I make up my mind. The only thing that stopped me from buying it the day it came out was the screen is the same resolution as the Vibrant...

How is the camera and flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
I get no lag on roms using Faux's kernel. The real value of any android is rom usage for me..i never use stock.

That being said, what are you using it for, texting/IM/app usage should be just as functional on an older phone than on the GSII, just the GSII is faster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jzero88:
Thats true, ya you know basic stuff. I mean I do flash my Vibrant ALOT but only because stock sucked.

Im just more concerned on battery life too because I don't want to go from one phone that I had to always monitor my use to a another one to do the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
I got it coming from the vibrant my self, simply to get gps. This thing has awesome gps...but for me, my vibrant was on CM7/MIUI, beautiful, fast as hell with good battery life and upgrading to this phone has felt like downgrading so far. Still waiting on ICS/MIUI...So if you're good with going back to stock looking (ics themed, on a custom rom) 2.3 go for it...otherwise I'd wait. Another selling point was the fast ass 4G, and let me tell you, unless you're under a tower, don't expect to see any kind of improvement. I peaked at 19.1Mbits today...otherwise avg speed test is 3-7, where my vibrant was consistently 4-6.5 or so...Again, not to sell the phone short...it is faster than the vibrant with web pages / installing apps etc. ...but over all IMO not that big of a difference. I'm keeping it till either a new HTC phone comes out with a 4.5+ screen or, ICS/CM9 drops...whatever comes first I guess.

Call quality over 3.5mm jack is awful as well..When I call someone it rings lound, 2nd ring is really low...and I am constantly having to talk loud and keep the phone close in my work van, otherwise ppl cant hear me well..I think this is due to the 2nd mic on top..VIB had an amazing microphone, i could talk in a normal voice with the phone mounted on the windshield no probs..

BTW: I will give props to the fact that the custom rom I am on is 100% functional...my ***** is not with the rom...as both stock and custom work the same exact way. Any rom i'd flash on the vib always had some weird quirk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jzero88:
This is exactly what i was looking for! Thanks for the honest opinion. I really want to upgrade to a new phone, but you are difinitely right. There probably isn't that much of a difference except browsing and installing apps, gps, etc. Which isn't that bad on the vibrant, but GPS sucks ! :)

I think I'll wait a bit longer and not jump the gun on this offer, I feel there might be something around the corner since they are offering such a nice discount.

Thanks again for everyones responses :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
There is...HTC edge is strongly rumored with quad core tegra 3...and if not GS3 should be within a few months too...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tesseraye:
yea if i were you i'd probably wait for quad core too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jzero88:
Yeah heard theres a rumor of at least the GS3 being announced in February.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GuestK00468:
Like another member posted. If my Mytouch 4g did not take a dive with me I would still be using it. So far I feel like the SGS2 is a downgrade. Keep your phone and spend the money on a tablet...hehe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
I loved my vibrant LOVED the damn thing but twords the end it got a little meh. Then i got the SGS II (only been two months or so i know) DAMN does this thing fly during daily use. It might be that i got a bad referb whenever i broke my vibrant and did a warranty exchange however needly this thing is great. I use it for my daily driver and have gone back to the CM7 vibrant and its just amazing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] g1user101:
i say do it. there wont be another phone out for at least 2-4 months. so i say do it. it reallly is a great phone. only flaws that i care about is there is no dedicated camera button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
If it werent for the fact that Telus takes forever to get new phones(Just got the GSII in nov), id have waited to. But im really happy with my GSII, i dont see a need for a quad till next year. I wont get a new phone till it has cyanogen ALREADY running on it as well, as im tired of this wait.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
Exactly... when I bought the vib at 2.1 fw... there was already 2.3 roms out... this has been out longer with not even a trace of ics or cm9 ...kinda has me worried... seems like the vibrant left a bad taste in everyones mouth.... and not too many people jumping on this phone....weird...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
Probably not seeing as gs2 probably won't have ics by then.... and no way is Samsung and tmo introducing ics for gs2 and releasing gs3....they're not That dumb...but once they get rid of their gs2 supply with promise of ics and everyone is upgraded...they'll roll out gs3....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrcrassic:
I think the T989 is an excellent upgrade from the Vibrant. (I owned one a year ago and both of my parents currently own Vibrants as well.)

The camera on this thing is amazing; the flash alone makes it a great step up from a Vibrant. It's great in low-light scenarios, though not as good as the iPhone 4s. It's close though. (I'm convinced that the 4s has the best smartphone camera available, unfortunately.)

The front camera is a huge advantage for it too if you're planning on video chatting in the future. Don't expect works of art, though; it just works :)

If you use GPS navigation a lot, you need to upgrade to this. It's a night and day difference...unless you like searching out for the next GPS fix. :)

The design is much nicer, in my opinion, and I think this is the only phone I've used to date that has a speakerphone that's comparable to a Blackberry. It's loud and very clear, and it helps that its mic is fantastic.

Honestly, the screen isn't that much better than the original Galaxy S. It's definitely an improvement; contrast ratio is much better (as close to pure black as you'll get) and color temperature is actually correct on the stock ROM. However, you won't notice a crazy difference if you use Voodoo. I also hear that the screen on this variant is worse than the i9100 series, though I think you'll be happy with it nonetheless. (I also think those issues have been fixed; I bought mine this past Friday and the color temp is fine.)

HSPA+ on T-Mobile is sick. I

finally

have cable-like speeds in my house. If you plan on tethering a lot, the upgrade is worth it.

The negatives: Cyanogenmod isn't officially supported on this yet because the Galaxy S II ROM uses a different CPU (that is apparently faster than the one included on this one, but does not do HSPA+). The current builds available for it work very well at the expense of some battery life (for now) and NFC (which you won't care about anyway since Wallet will not work on the stock ROM).

TouchWiz sucks and it's loaded with heaps of bloatware. You can't tether out of the box unless you're on their tethering plan; this goes away after flashing CM or an alternative ROM.

So far, I'm loving it. I'm expecting it to be the best phone I've ever owned.

---------- Post added at 04:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 AM ----------

And don't worry about ICS. Once the mainline Galaxy S II gets CM9 (there are alphas out already), this phone will get it very soon after.

Samsung will probably update it (late) next year if you want to go down that path.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
This phone is a huge upgrade over the vibrant and is imo the best phone available on T-Mobile(officially). Here's what I got for battery life today. As you can see this was pretty heavy usage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jzero88:
I definitely would love to have a flash and a better camera, but even at a discounted price, well actually a $200 mail in rebate, I can't justify buying it, at least yet.

It also seems there isn't as much developement for SGSII as there is for the Vibrant, even today. It does seem that the SGSII has better battery life though. I think I'll be going to the Tmo store again tomorrow to test drive it again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
Have em price match it to 100 sign the contract...sell your vibrant for 180 ...then sell the gs2 for 450 and buy next phone outright :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joking:
I agree that SGSII doesn't have a lot of development but it doesn't mean we don't have the best ROM, kernel and theme. Those guys are the best at what they do. I'm running Jug 4.1 ROM with Faux's kernel and I can get by more than a day with moderate uses.

If you really have to upgrade now, SGSII is the best choice. If you don't have to, then wait for SGS3, but keep in mind there may be another greater, better phone on the horizon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dislplin01:
That is really my only concern I know this phone will be huge upgrade from my optimus one but I really Want to see more progress with cm7, miui and ICS, I just don't see it yet my phone has CM7 and I don't know I just am worried that development. Will slow with this phone cause its T-Mobile. Sg2
